  Are you kidding me?  We are literally in a situation where 42 is the answer but we will probably need to build a new supercomputer to figure out what the question is?  Haha!  I listened to that part of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy last night!

  I love that people are finding solutions to open maths problems after watching Numberphile videos and getting inspired to jump in. What a lovely legacy!

  Maybe the computer that said 42 was the answer to life, the universe and everything really was just still trying to solve this conjecture

  Spoiler: it'll take 7 and a half million years to find the solution for 42.

  Brady is advancing maths with his videos. I think he's just trying not to run out of content.

  So, THIS is the question for which the answer is 42.

  One day someone will solve the Riemann hypothesis and will say: "I started looking at this after watching Numberphile's video..."

  It's pretty cool that mathematicians are watching these videos along with us and getting inspired to do mathematics.

  Coincidentally, 42 is also the only number that's not just the answer to life and the universe but everything!

  Numberphile community: Booker has made a discovery that will go down in history.<br>Booker&apos;s Wife: What&apos;s the point?

  &quot;What are you going to do with this number, are you going to get it tattooed on your arm?&quot;<br>Oh Brady that would look so much worse than you think.
